Physical copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 contain a disc with just 72.23MB of data inside.

Players who received a copy slightly earlier than tomorrow’s official multiplayer release are reporting that the disc contains almost no data and is accompanied by a hefty data download.

The latest pre-release update balloons the game to a massive 150GB, which does not yet include Warzone 2.0.

Such dummy discs have come under severe criticism, as it places the burden on the player to obtain the rest of the game through the internet, which can be a slow and expensive process for those with low internet speeds and data caps. Indeed, this tends to be the primary reason players may opt for a physical copy of a game.
